"الدين المعاملة" كلام فيه نظر

قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآَخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ﴾ [آل عمران: 85]. من يأتي يوم القيامة وقد اتخذ غير الإسلام دينا فهو في جهنم من الخاسرين، هذه دعوة لمن يعقل أن لا يفوت فرصة دخوله في الإسلام ويعبد الله تبارك وتعالى حق العبادة، وقال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ﴾ [آل عمران: 102]. اتقوا الله حق تقاته أن يطاع الله فلا يعصى وأن يشكر فلا يكفر ويذكر فلا ينسى وأن يجاهد في سبيل الله حق الجهاد لنصرة دينه ونشر دعوته والحفاظ على بلاد المسلمين وجمع المسلمين في دولة واحدة تحت راية رسول الله e، ولا تأخذكم في الله لومة لائم بقول كلمة الحق عند سلطان جائر والأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، وأن تقوموا بالقسط ولو على أنفسكم أو آبائكم أو أبنائكم، ولا تموتوا إلا وأنتم مسلمون، حافظوا على إسلامكم وطاعة ربكم فمن مات على شيء بعث عليه، عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ e: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ عَنِ النَّارِ، وَيَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ، فَلْتَأْتِهِ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَهُوَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى النَّاسِ الَّذِي يحب أن يؤتى إليه» رواه مسلم، ينبغي على المسلم أن يعامل الناس كما يحب أن يعاملوه، فلا كذب ولا خداع ولا غش ولا خيانة لأحد لأن الله لا يرضى منه ذلك، وثانيا لأنه لا يحب أن يعامَل بهذه الصفات الذميمة، فلا يعامِل بها أحداً، والإيمان بالله يقضي أن يصدق عمله قوله وسريرته ظاهره، فالمعاملة بين الناس تظهر بالأخلاق الحميدة من الصدق والأمانة وعدم الغش والخيانة، وهذه قد تجدها عند مختلف أهل الأديان والعقائد، فتجد الكفار الرأسماليين قد أصبح الصدق بينهم وفي مجتمعاتهم سجية لا يفارقهم لرؤيتهم أنه يحقق لهم منافع أكثر من الكذب والغش والخيانة، بينما تراهم في خارج بلادهم ومجتمعاتهم وهم ممثلون لبلادهم يتخذون الغش والكذب والخداع وسيلة وأسلوباً لبسط نفوذهم واستعمار ما يستطيعون من الشعوب، حيث إن تحقيق المنفعة أساس في حياتهم ومبدئهم وطريقة عيشهم في الحياة، فالقول إن الدين المعاملة قول معسول ويصور على غير حقيقته.

وترى غالبية المسلمين هذه الأيام لا تقيم وزنا للصدق والأمانة وعدم الغش وإعطاء الحق لصاحبه، مع أن الالتزام بالصفات الحميدة من بدهيات الإيمان ويعرف بها المسلمون أينما حلوا أو ارتحلوا، إلا هذه الأيام وهذا عائد إلى الفصل بين الإسلام والحياة، الذي هيمن على حياة المسلمين منذ أن أقصي الإسلام عن حكم بلاد المسلمين واستبدلت به أنظمة الاستعمار الرأسمالي، ولا زالت هي المتحكمة والمشكّلة للنظام العام في جميع بلاد المسلمين بدون استثناء، ولا بد من تغيير هذه الأنظمة واستئناف الحياة الإسلامية بتحكيم الشريعة الإسلامية وإقامة الدولة الإسلامية على منهاج رسول الله e، وبيعة خليفة ليحكم بلاد المسلمين في دولة واحدة كما حكم رسول الله eالدولة الإسلامية حينما أنشأها في المدينة المنورة وتبعه الصحابة رضوان الله عليهم واستمرت الدولة الإسلامية إلى أن قضى عليها الكفار وأعوانهم من العرب والترك ضعاف النفوس أثناء الحرب العالمية الأولى وقبلها وبعدها.

نعم الإسلام دين ينظم شؤون حياة الإنسان فهو لا يقتصر على الشعائر التعبدية، بل هو نظام كامل وشامل للحياة فتكون العبادة بإقامة الشعائر التعبدية والعبادة باتباع الشرع وإقامة الدولة التي تنفذ الشرع وتنشر الدعوة، وهذا يكون بلا تفرقة بين الشعيرة والشريعة فهي متكاملة ومن عند الله وبأمر الله، ولا تتحقق طاعة الله ولا تستقيم الحياة إلا بهما، ولا بد من تفعيل هذا الأمر والعمل لتحقيقه ولا يكفي القول أو الاعتراف والمعرفة بالواقع السيئ المشين الذي يعيشه المسلمين اليوم.

ولا يخفى على أحد أمر الله تبارك وتعالى لرسوله الكريم e- وأمر الرسول أمرٌ لنا - في القرآن الكريم بوجوب الحكم بما أنزل عليه، وهو المعصوم e، في سورة النساء وفي سورة المائدة على سبيل الذكر وفي سور أخرى في القرآن الكريم - ولكن على سبيل التذكير - قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِناً عَلَيْهِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَاجاً وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آَتَاكُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعاً فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ * وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُصِيبَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وَإِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ لَفَاسِقُونَ * أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْماً لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ﴾ [المائدة: 48-50]. أنزل الله تبارك وتعالى القرآن الكريم بالحق والصدق لا ريب فيه لا يطاله شك ولا باطل، مهيمنا ومسيطرا وملغيا للكتب التي سبقته ومصدقا لها، أنها من عند الله، وجاء القرآن العظيم خاتماً للكتب السماوية وأشملها وأعظمها وأحكمها ولا يقبل من أحد إلا التعبد به وإلا الحكم به فهو ختام الكتب السماوية، وقد تعهد الله تبارك وتعالى بحفظه وعدم المساس به فقال تبارك وتعالى: ﴿إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ﴾ فالحكم لا يكون إلا بالشريعة الإسلامية المستنبطة من القرآن الكريم والسنة الشريفة، والحكم يعني تنظيم شؤون حياة الناس ورعاية مصالحهم وإحقاق الحق بينهم وإنصافهم والعدل بينهم والحكم بما أنزل الله، يعني الالتزام بالشريعة الإسلامية ونبذ ما عداها من الأعراف والقوانين والشرائع التي وضعها الناس، ولا يلتفت لها أبدا مهما كانت مسمياتها، والنهي عن اتباع أهوائهم هذه التي أصبحت أعرافاً وقوانين تُتّبع، وما اصطلحوا عليه من شرائع وأنظمة، استبدلوها بشرع الله وأصبحت لهم دينا غير دين الله فلا تتبعها ولا تقم لها وزنا، واحذر هؤلاء الأشقياء ولا تتبع أهواءهم ورغباتهم وخططهم ولا تنظر لمقترحاتهم فهم بعيدون عن طاعة الله ومحبته وحسن عبادته...

﴿أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ﴾ ينكر الله تبارك وتعالى على من يخرج عن حكم الله المتمثل على كل خير الناهي عن كل شر والمنصف العادل بين الناس على اختلاف أديانهم وأجناسهم، الحكم العدل على من سواه من الأحكام والآراء والتشريعات التي يضعها الناس من عند أنفسهم وتحت أي مسمى، كما يصنع أهل الجاهلية.

﴿وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْماً لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ﴾، ومن أعدل من الله في حكمه وتشريعه لقوم يعقلون ويؤمنون، وهو تبارك وتعالى الخالق المدبر الرازق، أحكم الحاكمين وأرحم الراحمين وهو أرحم بخلقه من الأم على وليدها، وهو تبارك وتعالى العالم بكل شيء والقادر على كل شيء علام الغيوب، أعلم بما يصلح خلقه، ولا حاجة له عند أحد من خلقه تبارك وتعالى عما يصفون، قال الحسن البصري: من حكم بغير حكم الله حكم بالجاهلية.

وحين يقال الدين المعاملة وحسن الخلق من الدين، تكاد تكون دعوة تدليس وتلبيس لأنها دعوة مبتورة مغيب أصلها عن سبق إصرار وترصد، فالمجتمعات لا تبنى على الأخلاق بل تبنى على العقائد والأفكار، والمبادئ والأخلاق تبع لها وليست أساساً لها، فالشريعة الإسلامية في بلاد المسلمين لا تحكم ولا تنظم حياة الناس فليس لها سلطان ينظم الحياة العامة ويحكمها، ومن يحكم المجتمعات في بلاد المسلمين خليط من الأحكام والقوانين والأنظمة والشرائع كلها تتميز أنها من وضع الكفار وأنها تحارب الإسلام والمسلمين، وهي أداة بيد الحاكم الظالم المستبد، فمهما تكلم الخطيب فهو نفسه لا يصدق ما يقول، والسامع أشد نفورا وتعجبا منه، فمن يجرؤ على الادعاء أنه يشرع للناس ويحكم فيهم بأعدل من شرع الله وحكم شريعة الله لهم ومن يدعي أنه أعلم من الله بما يصلح خلقه؟!

لا عذر لأحد من المسلمين أن يرضى ويسلم لحكم غير حكم الشريعة الإسلامية وتحت أي ظرف كان، إن قضية الحكم بما أنزل الله يجب أن تكون واضحة لكل مسلم وهي قضيته التي يجب أن تحقَّق في واقع الحياة، وأن الحياة لا تستقيم بدون أن تنظم شؤونها بالشريعة الإسلامية، وأنه لا تقوم للمسلمين قائمة بدون تحكيم شرع الله، والحكم بما أنزل الله فرض كفرض الصلاة، وكل مسلم لا بد أن يُسأل عن القعود عن العمل لاستئناف الحياة الإسلامية كما يسأل عن ترك الصلاة.

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ * فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى أَنْ تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَةٌ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ﴾ [المائدة: 51-52]. ينهى الله تبارك وتعالى عن موالاة اليهود والنصارى وهم أعداء الإسلام وأهله منذ فجر التاريخ ولا زالوا، قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكون،ويتوعد وينذر من يتولاهم ويركن إليهم ويأمن جانبهم ويتحالف معهم فهو منهم والعياذ بالله، وترى الذين في قلوبهم شك وريبة ونفاق يتأولون موالاة الكفار ومودتهم لحفظ مصالحهم ويتعللون بنوائب الدهر ودوران الدوائر، عليهم دائرة السوء، وفي هذه الأيام ترى الكثيرين ممن يوالون الكفار ويعملون معهم، يدعون إلى الاعتراف بالآخر وهذا أمر محلول عند المسلمين، الآخر هم الكفار وهم إما كافر حربي أو كافر ذو عهد أو ذمي، والذمي له حقوق الرعاية كما هي للمسلم ما دام لا ينقض شروط العهد معه وولاؤه للدولة الإسلامية، والمحارب والمعاهد لكل منهم أحكام شرعية تنظم العلاقة معه، وكان المسلمون دائما ملتزمين بالأحكام الشرعية، وخير دليل وجود شتى الملل والنحل والأديان والمذاهب في بلاد المسلمين، والله على كل شيء شهيد.

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Every time we are presented with a "new symbol" with Muslim roots or Eastern features, many Muslims cheer, and hopes are built on an illusion called "political representation" in an infidel system that does not recognize Islam as a ruling system, a creed, or a law.

We all remember the overwhelming joy that swept through the feelings of many when Obama won in 2008. He is the son of Kenya, and he has a Muslim father! Here, some imagined that Islam and Muslims had become close to American influence, but Obama was one of the most harmful presidents to Muslims. He destroyed Libya, contributed to the tragedy of Syria, and ignited Afghanistan and Iraq with his planes and soldiers. Rather, he was the blood shedder in Yemen through his tools, and his era was a continuation of a systematic hostility against the nation.

Today, the scene is repeated, but with new names. Zohran Mamdani is celebrated because he is a Muslim, an immigrant, and a young man, as if he is the savior! But only a few look at his political and intellectual positions. This man is a strong supporter of homosexuals, participates in their activities, and considers their deviation a human right!

What a shame that people pin their hopes on this?! Wasn't it a repetition of the same political and intellectual disappointment that the nation has fallen into time and time again?! Yes, because it is captivated by appearance, not essence! Deceived by smiles, and deals with emotion, not creed, with names, not concepts, and with symbols, not principles!

This fascination with appearances and names is the result of the absence of legitimate political awareness, because Islam is not measured by origin, name, or race, but by commitment to the principle of Islam in its entirety; as a system, creed, and law. A Muslim who does not rule by Islam or support it has no value, but rather submits to the infidel capitalist system and justifies infidelity and deviations in the name of "freedom".

Let all Muslims who rejoiced in his victory and thought that he was a seed of good or the beginning of revival know that revival does not come from within systems of disbelief, nor with their tools, nor through their ballot boxes, nor under the ceiling of their constitutions.

Whoever presents himself through the democratic system, swears to respect its laws, then defends and celebrates homosexuality, and calls for what angers God, is not a supporter of Islam or a hope for the nation, but rather a tool for polishing and diluting, and a false representation that does not advance or delay anything.

The so-called political successes in the West for some personalities with Islamic names are nothing but crumbs presented as painkillers to the nation, to be told: Look, change is possible through our systems.

 So what is the reality of this "representation"?

The West does not open the doors of rule to Islam, but only opens them to those who identify with its values and ideas. Anyone who enters their system must accept their constitution and their man-made laws, and renounce the rule of Islam. If he agrees to that, he becomes an acceptable model, but the true Muslim is rejected by them from his roots.

So who is Zohran Mamdani? And why is this illusion being created?

He is a person who carries a Muslim name but adopts a deviant agenda that is completely contrary to the nature of Islam, from supporting homosexuals and promoting what is called their "rights". He is a living example of how the West makes its models: Muslim in name, secular in reality, a servant of the Western liberal agenda, nothing more. Rather, to distract the nation from its true path. Instead of demanding the state of Islam and the Caliphate, it is preoccupied with parliamentary seats and positions in systems of disbelief! Instead of heading to liberate Palestine, it waits for someone to "defend Gaza" from inside the American Congress or the European Parliament!

The truth of the matter is that this is a distortion of the true path of change, which is the establishment of the Rightly Guided Caliphate on the Prophetic method, which raises the banner of Islam, establishes the law of God, and unites the nation behind one Caliph who is fought from behind and feared.

So do not be deceived by names, and do not rejoice in those who belong to you in form and disagree with you in content, for not everyone who bears the name Saeed, Ali, or Zohran is on the path of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Know that change does not come from within the parliaments of disbelief, but from the armies of the nation that have come to move, and from its conscious youth who work day and night to turn the tables on the West and its aides and its treacherous followers in the lands of Islam and the Muslims.

Muslims will not rise through democratic elections or through Western ballot boxes, but through a real renaissance based on the Islamic creed, by establishing the Rightly Guided Caliphate that restores Islam's status, Muslims' dignity, and shatters the illusions of democracy.

Do not be deceived by names, and do not pin your hopes on individuals in systems of disbelief, but return to your great project: the resumption of Islamic life, for this alone is the path to glory, victory, and empowerment.

The scene is a humiliating repetition of old tragedies: false symbols, loyalty to Western regimes, and deviation from the path of Islam. Everyone who applauds this path is misleading the nation. Return to the Caliphate project, and do not let the enemies of Islam make your leaders and representatives for you. Glory is not in the seats of democracy, but in the saddle of the Caliphate, for which Hizb ut-Tahrir works and warns the nation against this intellectual and political decline. There is no salvation for us except with the state of the Caliphate, which does not allow Muslims to be ruled by those who profess a religion other than Islam, nor by those who justify deviance and perversion, nor by those who legislate for people other than what God has revealed.

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality: The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality

The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Al-Ahram Gate reported on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, that the Egyptian Prime Minister, in a speech delivered on behalf of the President at the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar, said that Egypt is implementing a comprehensive approach to eliminate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including "multidimensional poverty."

For years, official speeches in Egypt have rarely been devoid of phrases such as "a comprehensive approach to eliminating poverty" and "the real launch of the Egyptian economy." Officials repeat these slogans at conferences and events, accompanied by glossy images of investment projects, hotels, and resorts. But the reality, as evidenced by international reports, is quite different. Poverty in Egypt remains a deeply rooted, and even worsening, phenomenon, despite repeated government promises of improvement and renaissance.

According to reports by UNICEF, ESCWA, and the World Food Programme for 2024 and 2025, about one in five Egyptians lives in multidimensional poverty, meaning they are deprived of more than one aspect of basic life, such as education, health, housing, work, and services. The data also confirms that more than 49% of families suffer from difficulties in obtaining sufficient food, a shocking figure that reflects the depth of the living crisis.

As for financial poverty, i.e., low income compared to the costs of living, it has risen sharply as a result of successive waves of inflation that have eroded people's wages, efforts, and savings, until a large percentage of Egyptians are below the financial poverty line despite their constant work.

While the government talks about initiatives such as "Takaful and Karama" and "Decent Life," international figures reveal that these programs have not radically changed the structure of poverty, but have been limited to temporary palliatives similar to a drop poured into the desert. The Egyptian countryside, where more than half of the population lives, still suffers from poor services, a lack of decent job opportunities, and dilapidated infrastructure. The ESCWA report confirms that deprivation in the countryside is several times greater than in the cities, which indicates poor distribution of wealth and chronic neglect of the peripheries.

When the Prime Minister thanks the citizen "who has endured with the government the measures of economic reform," he is in fact acknowledging the existence of real suffering resulting from these policies. However, this acknowledgment is not followed by a change in approach, but rather a continuation on the same capitalist path that caused the crisis.

The alleged reform that began in 2016 with the "floatation" program, raising subsidies, and increasing taxes, was not a reform but rather a burdening of the poor with the cost of debts and deficits. At a time when officials are talking about "the launch," huge investments are going to luxury real estate and tourism projects that serve the owners of capital, while millions of young people find no opportunities for work or housing. Indeed, many of these projects, such as the Alam El Roum area in Matrouh, whose investments are estimated at $29 billion, are foreign capitalist partnerships that acquire land and wealth and turn them into a source of profit for investors, not a source of livelihood for the people.

The regime fails not only because it is corrupt, but because it follows a false intellectual basis, which is the capitalist system, which makes money the focus of all state policies. Capitalism is based on absolute freedom of ownership, and allows the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few who own the means of production, while the many bear the burden of taxes, prices, and public debt.

Therefore, all so-called "social protection programs" are merely an attempt to beautify the brutal face of capitalism, and to prolong the life of an unjust system that takes into account the rich and collects from the poor. Instead of addressing the root of the disease; i.e., the monopoly of wealth and the dependence of the economy on international institutions, it is sufficient to distribute crumbs of cash aid, which do not alleviate poverty or preserve dignity.

Care is not a favor from the ruler to the ruled, but a legitimate duty, and a responsibility for which God will hold him accountable in this world and the hereafter. What is happening today is a deliberate neglect of people's affairs, and an abandonment of the duty of care in favor of conditional loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

The state has become an intermediary between the poor and the foreign creditor, imposing taxes, reducing subsidies, and selling public property to cover a swollen deficit created by the capitalist system itself. In all of this, the legitimate concepts that regulate the economy are absent, such as the prohibition of usury, the prevention of the ownership of public wealth by individuals, and the obligation to spend on the people from the treasury of the Muslims.

Islam has presented an integrated economic system that addresses poverty at its roots, not just with cash support or cosmetic projects. This system is based on fixed legitimate foundations, the most prominent of which are:

1- Prohibiting usury and usurious debts that shackle the state and drain its resources. By eliminating usury, the dependence of the economy on international institutions will disappear, and the financial sovereignty of the nation will be restored.

2- Making ownership three types:

Individual ownership: such as houses, shops, and private farms...

Public ownership: includes major wealth such as oil, gas, minerals, and water...

State ownership: such as fay' lands, rikaz, and kharaj...

With this distribution, justice is achieved, as a small group is prevented from monopolizing the nation's resources.

3- Guaranteeing sufficiency for every individual of the people: The state guarantees for every person in its care their basic needs of food, clothing, and housing. If they are unable to work, the treasury must spend on them.

4- Zakat and mandatory spending: Zakat is not a charity, but an obligation, collected by the state and spent in its legitimate channels for the poor, the needy, and the debtors. It is an effective distribution tool that returns money to the cycle of life in society.

Along with stimulating productive work and preventing exploitation, and urging investment of resources in real beneficial projects such as heavy and military industries, not in speculation, luxury real estate and fictitious projects. In addition to adjusting prices with real supply and demand, not with monopoly or floatation.

The Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood is the only one capable of applying these provisions practically, because it is built on the basis of Islamic creed, and its goal is to care for people's affairs, not to collect their money. Under the Khilafah, there is no usury or conditional loans, and no sale of public wealth to foreigners, but resources are managed in a way that achieves the interest of the nation, and the treasury finances health care, education, and public facilities from state resources, kharaj, anfal, and public property.

As for the poor, their basic needs are guaranteed individually, not through temporary charity but as a guaranteed legitimate right. Therefore, fighting poverty in Islam is not a political slogan, but an integrated system of life that establishes justice, prevents injustice, and returns wealth to its people.

Between the official discourse and the lived reality is a huge distance that is not hidden from anyone. While the government boasts of its "giant" projects and the "real launch," millions of Egyptians live below the poverty line, suffering from high prices, unemployment, and a lack of hope. The truth is that this suffering will not disappear as long as Egypt continues on the path of capitalism, surrendering its economy to usurers and submitting to the policies of international institutions.

The crises and problems of Egypt are human problems and not material ones, and they relate to legitimate rulings that show how to deal with them and treat them on the basis of Islam, and the solutions are easier than turning a blind eye, but they need a sincere administration that has a free will that wants to walk in the right path and truly wants good for Egypt and its people, and then this administration must review all the contracts that were previously concluded and that are concluded with all the companies that monopolize the assets of the country and what is of its public ownership, and at the forefront are companies exploring for gas, oil, gold and the rest of the minerals and wealth, and expel all those companies because they are originally colonial companies plundering the wealth of the country, then formulate a new covenant based on enabling people to access the country's wealth and establishing or leasing companies that are based on producing wealth from the sources of oil, gas, gold and other minerals and redistribute these wealth to the people again, then people will be able to cultivate the dead land that the state will enable them to exploit with their right in it, and they will also be able to manufacture what must be manufactured to raise the economy of Egypt and suffice its people, and the state will support them in this way, and all this is not a figment of the imagination or impossible to happen or a project that we present for experimentation that may succeed or fail, but it is legitimate rulings that are necessary and binding on the state and the people, so the state may not give up the wealth of the country that is owned by the people under the pretext of contracts approved and supported by unjust international laws, and it may not prevent people from it, but it must cut off every hand that extends plundering to the wealth of the people, this is what Islam offers and must be implemented, but it is not applied in isolation from the rest of the systems of Islam, but it is only applied through the Rashidun Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood, this state whose concern and call for is carried by Hizb ut-Tahrir and calls on Egypt and its people, people and army, to work with it for its sake, may God write the conquest from Him, so we see it a reality that honors Islam and its people, O God, sooner rather than later.
